    Embo to feature as the main villain in Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

    Another day and another scoop I was working on has appeared via another individual or outlet. When you snooze, you lose.

    Kristian Harloff has exclusively broke today via his YouTube show that Embo, the bounty hunter that was previously featured in the Star Wars animated series, Clone Wars, is due to appear in the next live-action Star Wars theatrical release, The Mandalorian and Grogu and is being voiced by Dave Filoni, who voiced Embo’s animated counterpart.

    After a couple of busy days, I was writing up an exclusive report today that was due to release tomorrow that Embo would feature in The Mandalorian and Grogu as a villain. I was first told of Embo’s involvement in the feature film around the festive period along with a handful of other details about the film, some of which Kristian Harloff shared today via his YouTube show.

    UPDATE – Scoop confirmed on Feb 17th 2026: Embo as seen in the trailer for the film

    Harloff revealed that Rotta the Hutt plays a prominent role in the movie, something I mentioned previously, but that he thinks the movie is playing a similar storyline out as the Clone Wars where Rotta was kidnapped as a baby and had to be rescued. Harloff believes that Din Djarin and Grogu are hired to rescue Rotta and on the flip side Embo, the main villain of the story, has been hired to kill Rota the Hutt.

    The details that Harloff has revealed are ones that I too was told, so I can back up his reporting – not that he needs it. I’ll add that I believe that Embo is hired by some Hutts, possibly the two featured in The Book of Boba Fett. I had heard conflicting things on who hired Din, I was told once that it was the Hutts that hire Din and another time I was told it was the Republic. I don’t know which one is correct, if either, but Zeb does apparently assist Din in his quest at some point which could point to Din Djarin being hired by the Republic, but that’s merely speculation on my part.

    As I mentioned in my previous article, and this something readers will be well aware of, I only cover outlets or individuals that I consider to reputable and have proven track records, outlets or individuals such as MakingStarWars and Jeff Sneider for example. Kristian Harloff, somebody I respect and enjoy as a personality and media pundit, hasn’t been somebody I’ve covered in the past, but his Embo exclusive lines up with what I had heard, something I had multiple sources on and was planning to run.
